Applied spouse visa Axa building Manila mid October 2009....received it 4 weeks later.

Applied ILR November 2011 at the Cardiff office, as with Arthur, used same day premium service although, we had to wait a couple of days to get passport back via special delivery.

Due to apply for British Citizenship this coming Mid November but, seeing how we will be in The Philippines then, we will apply in December. This time applying in our home town.

To update this:
Fiancee Visa (2011) - 2 weeks
FLR(M) (27th March 2012-14th Feb. 2013) - 10.5 FREAKING MONTHS!!!

Hopefully in ILR time, it'll just be 1 day only!

Hopefully in ILR time, it'll just be 1 day only!

Looks like Rayna is tempted to use the Super Premium Service. Hope this struggle will be over soon! In my birthday - (27th of March) I'll wish for your biometrics will have arrived.

Hi, folks ... I have received your personal message on my profile. ... I'm afraid Moderators are not empowered to grant access to the Private Messaging facility - which, due to its misuse in the past - is currently no longer available to members who've not yet attained 'Respected' status. Nor, unfortunately, does there seem to be a Message Box into which a reply can be typed on your page.

However, all is not lost! ... I'd like to draw your attention to an extremely helpful thread compiled on the 11th of last month by my friend and co-Moderator, Terpe, in the wake of the recent changes. Entitled: 'All New *Guide - How to Apply for Spouse and Partner Visas', it is, as its *name implies, a step by step guide to the process.

Scroll down to the sub-heading: 'How Much Income do I need to have?' Then ... refer to the 4th paragraph which states clearly that "Promises of Third Party Support cannot, any longer, be counted towards financial requirements".

Disappointing for many, I know ... ... but, it would appear that, for now at least, applicants' "hands are tied" in this respect.
